Inquisitions

By Rock Faerie

Into the mirror she stares.
A refuge staring back.
Such remorse that smiles below the deep corner of the shadows.
She knows what lurks there.
The cold breath of dawn.
An illumination of sickened years.
Wasted tears of blind perspectives.


Repressed with dignity she looks away,
and stares into the warm eyes of a blissful evening.

    yes. that made perfect sense actually...with the 'repressed with dignity'... at the same time you can have dignity while staring lovingly into the eyes of darkness (the form that you speak of) i loved the line, "Such remorse that smiles below the deep corner of the shadows."...truely it does. i love how that was worded. well crafted.

  • A former member wrote: I like the opposition between "the cold breath of dawn" that lies within the shadows of (the) reflection and the "blissful evening" that dignity draws one towards... the tears, (and years?) seemingly, are made from these working against and with each other, perspectives that never reach beyond sights unseen, perhaps... well crafted, evident artistry.

    haha..I appreciate your constructive criticism...but there's a reason why I included "dignity" and I promise you it has nothing to do with cannabalism..haha...and it has nothing do with a refugee from some country either...it's a little more complicated than that...that's all I'll say...

  • A former member wrote: Like the idea. Hard to discern. Liked that too. Hopefully I'm right. Just sounds like reflections of a refugee from some country they were killed/tortured/oppressed/etc. But it could have done without the dignity part. Sorry. Attaching dignity which is a value deduced over a lifetime or during a situation is hard. Only criticism I got. Don't take it like oh blah blah. It's your universe you make it. And it could have used CANNABALISM....BLAHHHAHARGHHH. ;{
